Great Falls

Rock Island State Park is one of the smaller parks in Tennessee, but it contains three main waterfalls. I've pictured Twin Falls from the park HERE and HERE.

The photo above is of Great Falls in the park. Great Falls was greater before a dam was built upstream. At one time Great Falls was the widest cataract in Tennessee. It's not as wide now, but it is still pretty.

Glowing Peace Rose

We finally got some much-needed rain yesterday afternoon, which should help the lawn and flowers. One of the flowers it will help is this rose -- Glowing Peace. We've had this rose in our garden for a couple of years.

Liberty Bell

I started a new job in November, 2000, and was sent to Dover, Delaware, for training. One weekend I went to Philadelphia and there saw the Liberty Bell. This photo seems appropriate for this holiday weekend.

Colonial Williamsburg Fifes and Drums

Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drums seem to me to be a perfect visual for the Fourth of July. They play instruments and tunes from our Revolutionary War period and their uniforms reflect that time period as well.

I hope you're having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend.

Home, Sweet Home

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago and shows the front of our house from the road. It's not the fanciest house on the street, but we think it's just perfect.

Bama Bound Daylily

Betsy does like our daylilies -- she posted about them yesterday. But she didn't mention the problem she has with this particular daylily. It is very beautiful and has a fantastic color. But the name -- Bama Bound -- is just too much for my beautiful bride, a die-hard University of Tennessee Vol fan!

Gemini Rose

We have many pretty roses in our yard, but one of the prettiest is Gemini. It is a prolific rose with a nice form, beautiful color, and a light fragrance.
